(New York, NY: Tuesday, May 20,2014) What happens when you put a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Hip-Hop and Rock Icon together with a Grammy Award winning blues/rock legend on one song? The answer is “NEXT LEVEL” a new singlemasterminded by Super Producer Sonix The Mad Scientist. The new track is the perfect blend of Blues, Hip-Hop, Harmonica and Sonix’s hard-hitting unique sound. The magic happened when Sonix brought the two worlds together in a most unexpected mash-up that takes every listener by surprise at first listen. Sonix reflects, “I had this vision of putting Hip-Hop with the Blues. It took weeks of tweaking to get this to work. But when it clicked, it clicked!” At first listen DMC proclaimed: “This is incredible. THIS is some REAL MUSIC S#@T!” Sugar Blue responded: “YOU NAILED IT! You REALLY kicked it in the A**!" “Many have tried to bring Hip-Hop and Blues together but they never got it right like this.”
